this site has a great pic of the 3d map. Click the details.

apparently, they've been able to make 2d maps, using the same process for quite a while now.

Beotch. Sexy isn't it.

o_dancingfool · 01-09-2007, 11:27 PM

History did something about dark matter 2 years ago, 3d images included.

o_nuk3m · 01-10-2007, 05:09 AM

it is seriously amazing how Gravity is still considered a theory.

o_uber · 01-10-2007, 06:57 AM

Yes. There are quite a few theories treated as fact. Gravitation theory, atocic theory, cell theory, plate tectonic theory, theory of evolution, etc. Much of astronomy lies on theories.

You say that as if there's no dispute to gravity, or it's mechanics, i.e. quantum gravity or gravitons.

o_()))crayola))_> · 01-10-2007, 10:29 AM

And gravity will remain a theory until it is disproven. Thusly it will never be fact.

Looks like the evil samus from Metroid Prime 2 : echoes .

Frigging awesome , need it as wallpaper :>

o_cruor · 01-10-2007, 09:08 PM

There's no such thing as "fact", there are just different levels of theory backed up by varying amounts of proof and lack of disproof.

o_uber · 01-11-2007, 12:42 AM

There are such things as facts. You fail Philosophy 101.

What facts?

o_duffmanhb · 01-11-2007, 03:02 AM

Yeah its amazing. I just hate how creationists use the word 'theory' as an example of disproving theory.

example, theory cannot be proven, how can you rely on this is it cannot be proven. darwinism dosnt have enough facts to back it it up. if it did, it would be fact. (Theory can be proven, but cannot go through the scientific method). Honestly that was an argument against darwin before. Mind you, there God "fact" is far more poposterious than anything ive ever came upon.

o_yomamashouse · 01-11-2007, 03:03 AM

Dude, you realize god put fossils in the ground to throw Darwin off don't you?

Like what, an example please.

All things we would consider facts are still theories backed up by a lot of evidence but it still remains a theory and thus not fact since the term "fact" is void.

o_don · 01-11-2007, 01:48 PM

There are no facts = Paradox

If there are no facts, then the statement "there are no facts" becomes a fact in itself.

Likewise, I just hate how people use the word theories as matter of fact.

Your assumption that theories cannot be proven is false, though (scientific method or not).

The fact that it rained last night in my backyard is indeed a fact. It's a fact my opinion that green is my favorite color. It's fact the number of neutrons in the universe is either even or odd. Something that is known to be true is truth. Truth = fact. There are two types of facts, artificial and natural. Natural facts are independent of any authority.

I think it would be interesting to see what the distribution of this dark matter is in relation to black holes and stars in general. That is if it exists.
